Morris Minor Owners Club

I like the indicators fitted to Declans MG they are the one I have gone for, my concern is some motorists will not see the set up as it is and I don't want to be proved right.

Thanks for the suggestions and I am going for motorbike indicator lights they look smart and they only need drilling holes in the bumpers not on the bodywork. Love the yellow moggy my moggy is in the common Dove Grey.

Thanks for your advice Palacebear, I will bear it in mind.

Hi mine is as you described by flasher unit do you mean a separate switch as I won,t be able use the indicator stalk for original indicators and the additional indicators.

Hi thanks for this suggestion they look neat are they wired to work off the same stalk or switch as the originals or do I need a separate switch to work them.

I have a 1962 model with the original indicator lights set up, I want to add amber indicators but keep the original set up is this possible or may be fit them on the rear as my main concern is that other motorist might not see the indicator as it is, but if I only fit them to the rear would it still...

I bought my moggy off ebay, and have had 2 years of enjoyable trouble free motoring. But then I bought local in fact 5 miles down the road and the good thing with ebay is it has a great selection of all models in all price ranges so it is always worth a look.

I can reccomend a garage in Benfleet on Manor Trading Estate called Cartec. I have used them for the last 15 years I take my two modern cars there and for the last 18 months I have taken my 62 moggy. One of there mechanics called Steve runs a frogeye sprite and several lambrettas. They also do bodyw...

Hi Stuart,
Great pictures of your pick up. I have a flat in St Pauls Bay and see quite a few moggys when there. I'm back in Malta on Sunday for a week just looking forward to some warm weather after the cold miserable time we have had here . Regards Steve

I got a local tyre company to supply and fit 5 Toyos which included balance, valve, cap and vat at £35 each. If I supplied the tyres I was quoted £12 a tyre which included balance and valve, which brought the tyre down to £23 a piece. So i would suggest try local first it could save you some money.

I bought 5 Toyo's 155x14 from a local tyrefitter they were £35 each but that included fitting, balance,, valve and vat. Nankangs they could source easier were £28 all in, so try local it could save you some money.

Hi I live in Benfleet and own a 2 door 62 moggy, and use a garage on Manor trading estate called Cartec they are going to fit front seatbelts in may when she goes in for mot and service one of the mechanics Steve owns a frogeye sprite he literally rebuilt and works on lambrettas which he owns. Could...

Its well worth a visit, its usually sponsored by Practical Classics so its advertised nationally so you have plenty of stalls dealing with spares and anything to do with motoring. The used car section is massive and the car show area is superb. I go every 2 or 3 years providing its good weather the ...

I just carry a phone and RAC card and in 18 months its worked a treat, no breakdowns but then I am getting to old to want to get my hands dirty. but I do keep her well serviced.

I wasn't saying it was because they were Toyos, but I am assuming 145x14 have less rubber on the road giving less resistance allowing her to pull up hills better than before.

I bought a temp gauge and ammeter gauge both Smiths from the same supplier on ebay both were reconditioned, I am very happy with them.

I have just purchased a set of Toyos 155x14 replaceing Nangkang 165 70 x14 the difference is remarkable, I go up hills which I used to change down I don't now. I paid £35 including balance and vat. My supplier put them on back order and they turned up in 2 weeks. I would certainly recommend them. :D...

I bought a secondhand Smiths temperature gauge last year for my 948cc minor, then realised I had to source a mini head as the head on my minor had no outlet to attach it to. But had the new head converted for unleaded petrol and the gauge works fine, so to me it was worth the expense...

When I bought my moggy last year I cleared the garage out which hadn't had a car in it for at least 15 years so quite a few trips to the rubbish tip. What did surprise me the moggy is a 62 model and the house was built in 1962 and she only just squeezes in and I have to push her in and out, but shes...

I checked the oil in my moggy this morning and noticed a small amount of white mayonaise in the filler cap. When I bought her back in October and checked the filler cap there was none. After I bought her I had her serviced I also had a temperature gauge fitted which mean't a head of a mini was sourc...
